Random Acts of Kindness runs The Kindness RAK thrift store at Liberty & I-35 (the old outlet mall, across from the pond) and puts the store's sales back into Cooke County: a food pantry, a diaper closet, the largest blessing box in the county, winter heaters, care packages for soldiers, seniors and people without housing, and case-by-case financial help for Cooke County residents while funds last.
